Washington will find a way to lose somehow
Looking like the same lines from Tuesday? Not bad.
Must win. Arizona game in DC back in November was embarrassing.
ILL BE THERE LOOK FOR ME ON THE BIG SCREEN BITCHES
9 pm? poo
I would very much like a capitals victory
NAK goes from healthy scratch to top line overnight? What the fuck is happening with our roster
Laviolette has to absolutely be fired. These lines and man-management are criminal.
I respect Lavi for trying different lines to see chemistry, but doing it now, when the race is so tight in the east is absurd. Me personally, would go with what was working and ease back Willy and Backy. I would roll:
Ovi-Kuzy-Sheary
Milano-Strome-Oshie
Willy-Backy-Eller
Hathaway-Dowd-whoever he wants to see play
And then make in game adjustments.
So I was looking at the lines and thought…wtf.
But honestly after looking at them again, and really taking a deeper dive at the stats and overall play, I reconsidered and thought, WTF?
